  • Global Dialogue on Care: Agenda and Participants
    World Dementia Leading the Global Action Council Against Dementia Global dialogue on care: Agenda and participants The dementia landscape project 5 February 2021 Organized in partnership with Welcome We are delighted you are able to join us at the virtual World Dementia Council care workshop on 5 February 2021. The world’s first G8 dementia summit was held in 2013 in London, where the international community of top scientists in the field, advocates, industry, researchers of, and providers in, the care sector, and governments committed to improve the lives of people with dementia through research and the develop of treatments, better care, increasing awareness and promoting risk reduction. According to the World Health Organization, around 50 million people have dementia worldwide and the global societal cost of dementia was estimated to be approaching $1 billion. Everyone today living with dementia does need, or will need as their dementia develops, access to care and support. And much of the cost of dementia is the direct and indirect costs associated with care. We hope this decade brings disease modifying treatments that slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and other form of dementia. The first treatments are, perhaps, tantalisingly close. But even when we have the first treatments people with dementia will continue to need care and support until, in the years ahead, until we have disease modifying treatments that can effectively stop the develop of the disease. It is not just that today there are millions of people needing care; until we defeat dementia, in the years ahead there will be millions more.
